Episode notes
As wood became scarce, peasants started doing things like burning their doors and furniture. They would even raid cemeteries that were decades or centuries old to pull up coffins from that time so that they could burn it. This resulted in the loss of somewhere around 10% of all of the forest in China over this time was destroyed. The metal part of this is even worse. It's going to get significantly worse.
